Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 254 I Care (1w)

Perhaps just as the commentator mentioned, even though this event does not belong to any of the Shining series, it is enough to leave an important mark in Uma Musume.

Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again. Except for not being in the leading position at the beginning, before the first bend, Secretariat and Harvest Moment started accelerating as if they had agreed in advance and would not stop.

As this continued, the enthusiasm of the audience and the commentators continued to rise.

“One rider leaves the dust behind! No no no no! Two riders leave the dust behind!”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know my description is very strange, but you have seen it, this is the scene!"

"The two horse racing girls' lead can no longer be described as a lead. The distance between them has completely divided the race, the track, and the screen into two halves."

"Our cameras have already been divided into two groups, otherwise we would not be able to capture the entire game."

“In the latter group of pictures, the horse racing ladies behind us continued to run, but it was obvious that they were the ones who could be described as barely.”

"They must have been influenced by the seniors in front of them. They accelerated too early and consumed too much energy. Now they have slowed down."

"Perhaps we can say that they are already in a state of stall."

"And it's only the halfway point of the competition, of course, I mean, I mean the halfway point of the competition between Secretariat and Harvest Time!"

"In another set of pictures, that is, in the previous set of pictures, the duel between the two horse girls is still going on!"

“The one-on-one fight that started at the first corner has been going on!”

"We have no way of knowing what happened when the two horse girls fought. Maybe they said something, but it is more likely that they were facing a strong opponent and had no time to say anything else."

"They must have all been running at full speed, which is why there was such a wonderful game."

"Currently, Secretariat and Harvest Moment are tied. They have already opened up a gap of more than 17 lengths. This is the distance given by the results of the last round of distance measurement!"

"The gap is still widening, and the two horse girls' lead is still widening! We have passed the third bend, and the gap is still widening!"

"Just like the commentator of the Belmont Stakes that year, she..."

"No, they are moving like tremendous machines!"

"They are like perfect machines!"

"Maybe I'll change my tune again, with such great strength and such amazing speed."

"Perhaps in our eyes, they are engaging in a fierce or even crazy competition..."

"But maybe! For such powerful and amazing people like them, this is just a show!"

"Yes, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, this is a competition called 'Education Competition'."

“As the name suggests, this match is an educational performance by two extremely powerful and world-class seniors for the juniors.”

"What is strength and speed? I think Secretariat and Harvest Time have given countless horse racing ladies a wonderful lesson!"

"Be thankful, little ones here, especially the runners on the track. What you see now, running towards the fourth bend, the finish line after the fourth bend..."

"That! Is the world! It's the top of the world!"

I have to say that there is a big difference between American commentary and Japanese commentary.

Not only is the language different, but there are also huge differences in wording, momentum and angle.

The current commentary seems to have elevated the game to a higher position, just like the United States at this moment in this era, full of top-level meaning.

But after listening to such explanations and looking at the fourth bend on the left from afar, Kitahara felt an urge not to look any further.

It’s certainly not because the game wasn’t exciting enough.

Before the game started, he was already a little impatient with the two ladies next to him because he was looking forward to the game.

When Secretariat and Harvest Moment were overtaking in the early stages, his viewing of the game was interrupted, and he showed his impatience a little bit.

Afterwards, whether it was the cheers from the audience or the passionate voices from the commentary, he cheered and got excited like any other audience member.

But now, the whole race was gradually coming to an end, and the two leading horse girls had entered the final bend. At this time, he did have the urge to not watch any more.

Because as he worried halfway through watching the game, the "educational" effect was too good.

He didn't know whether the other spectators were paying attention to what was happening behind the leading horse girl. Although he was cheering excitedly, he was still paying attention.

It was clear to see that the three horse racing girls participating in the competition were not in good condition.

It's not just one point that's wrong, but the whole situation is completely wrong.

As a trainer, he knew very well what a horse girl needed to do most basically in order to complete a race.

The walking posture adopts the "attack step" most commonly used by horse girls, with the toes touching the ground instead of the entire sole of the foot. When taking each step, the landing point should be between the heel and the toes.

The arm posture should be naturally along the body, with the elbows bent within about 90 degrees, and should not be crossed or shaking.

For body posture, keep your upper body straight, head slightly tilted forward, shoulders relaxed to avoid solidification and tension, and abdomen and buttocks strong but not tight.

For breathing posture, try to follow the method of "long exhalation, short inhalation, and coordinated with your steps". That is, exhale long when you exhale and take short, rhythmic breaths that follow your steps.

Based on this training foundation, different horse girls have different adjustments.

For example, Oguruma has a low center of gravity and high body flexibility when running, so her actual steps will be much longer than those of other horse girls. This will enable her to better play her advantages and reduce frontal wind resistance and physical strength when switching positions.

The same goes for Xiao Haiwan and Aldan, one of them has a stronger respiratory system than most horse girls, and the other has better brain oxygen supply and functioning capabilities, which are reflected in the adjustment of breathing rhythm and body posture.

Not only Oguruma and the other three, but all the horse girls who have been trained by the Eternal Team have undergone such targeted training.

But at this moment, Kitahara clearly saw that the abilities and skills accumulated through day-to-day training and competitions, his three horse girls... seemed to have forgotten them all.

He saw clearly.

Before the second turn, Oguruma had lost her usual low-center-of-gravity running style that she was so good at. Not only that, the direction of her upper body was wrong, and the direction of her face was also strange.

With her posture, it would be easy for her to get a stitch in the side or waste her energy.

Super Xiaohaiwan started to exert her strength too early. She is indeed gifted with endurance, but the 3000-meter track is the longest one she has ever run. In the past, she could rely on her endurance to accelerate in the final stage or even in the middle stage, but now it is absolutely impossible.

It was even more obvious for Mejiro Aldan. If she had a clear mind, she would understand better than Xiao Haiwan that if she accelerated between the second and third turns, not to mention winning, she might not even be able to finish the race normally.

In fact, in Kitahara's eyes, the three of them really had no way of finishing the race normally.

Whether it is a problem with running posture or the timing of acceleration, a wrong choice will lead to a simple result: lack of physical strength.

Without physical strength, there is no speed. The three of them... were obviously gradually stalling.

That was his own racehorse girl, and he was also a professional trainer. Kitahara knew the time when they stalled better than the commentators.

It was not what was mentioned in the commentary, but exactly when their two predecessors rushed into the final turn.

That is now.

And Kitahara knew very well why this happened.

...So...

The effect of this competition...

Really... it's a bit too good...

Perhaps, from now on, I should worry about how to comfort them...

With a complicated feeling of regret or helplessness, Kitahara put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Although he closed his eyes, he could still hear everything on the field.

Just like the strange silence after the game started, at this moment, the entire audience was abnormally quiet.

Against the backdrop of the silence here, the heavy and swift sound of footsteps hitting the ground on the field seemed even clearer.

As if to highlight the footsteps, the previously passionate commentary lowered its volume and its tone seemed much calmer.

“The competition has reached the most critical moment.”

"I think the ladies and gentlemen who come here should have the same idea."

"That is, we originally wanted to see the legend Secretariat running on the field again."

“However, the mysterious and equally legendary harvest moment from Japan, she, together with the Secretariat, presented us with something far beyond our imagination.”

"It was a one-on-one duel that lasted for more than a thousand meters, or even more than two thousand meters, or even three thousand meters, a whole game..."

“This is something that has never been seen before in the entire URA Shining Star Series!”

The commentary became a little more excited, but the audience seemed to be much quieter.

"And now, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I know what you are expecting."

"This is a game after all. Since it's a game..."

"Then there will be a winner."

"I think everyone is looking closely at the final turn. I know, I know very well that you all want to witness the final scene of this extremely exciting and unprecedented race..."

"And at this moment..."

The commentator's voice also fell silent for a moment.

And as mentioned before, the game screen, which can be clearly seen from most angles of the stadium, has no spectators watching it at the moment.

Even the commentators were the same. The commentary room was suddenly quiet, and everyone was staring at the camera screen that was specifically aimed at the final turn of the track.

After that bend, whether in the audience seats or in the commentary room, one can see the figure of the horse girl approaching at a high speed from far away.

The railings and track markers mostly blocked their presence, but they couldn’t stop their speed, which seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.

At that speed, they were about to finish the battle in the last corner of the race.

Sudden.

"Appeared!"

"The first person to come out of the final turn is..."

"at the same time!"

"at the same time!"

"side by side!"

"That's right, everyone! I didn't say anything wrong this time, and I don't need to change my words or apologize this time!"

"This is a one-on-one duel that lasted for three thousand meters!"

"From the start, the early game, the middle game to the end, the Secretariat and Harvest Moment were almost in a one-on-one duel the entire time!"

"This one-on-one duel is not over yet, not over yet!"

"They rushed out of the corner at the same time!"

“They came out of the corner at a level that had never been seen before!”

The entire stadium was boiling with shrill whistles, wildly waving signs and colorful flags, cheers and screams, all rising into the sky in an instant as if detonated.

"Come on! Miss Tetsuna!"

"Come on! Secretariat!"

"Come on! You can do it, perfect!"

The various cheers and shouts sounded chaotic and noisy, but in fact, they were all excited about the stunning performance of the two horse girls who rushed out of the corner at the same time.

Under such circumstances, Kitahara still did not open his eyes.

He was trying hard to listen.

He felt that the commentary of this game should not be so unprofessional, and the commentary just now was definitely not over yet.

And as if he knew what he was thinking, the commentator continued shouting at a rapid speed.

He also opened his eyes at this time, his gaze quickly passed over the two figures rushing towards the finish line, and looked far behind.

"Twenty horse lengths! It seems to be twenty horse lengths!"

"Secretariat and Harvest Moment rushed into the final straight with a gap of 20 lengths!"

"The one behind is... the contestant named Oguruma! She seems to have fought for position with her opponent and now has taken the third place."

"Next up is Super Cove, and then Mejiro Altan."

"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let's give the horse racing ladies an equal cheer!"

"Then back to the front of the game..."

"The distance seems to be still increasing, everyone. I mean, the distance between the Secretariat and Harvest Time and the rear seems to be still increasing!"

"Jesus! This is already a gap that is beyond the distance calculator on the field can calculate in real time. I think the actual gap may be even greater than the previous distance of 20 lengths!"

“Heading for the finish line!”

“Heading for the finish line!”

"Four hundred meters left... three... two hundred more meters! Oh my god, they are too fast!"

"Two hundred meters left, almost crossing the finish line!"

"Wonderful! Unbelievable! Amazing performance!"

“The two ‘secretaries’…really gave us an incredibly wonderful and surprising performance!”

"50 meters!"

“Cross the finish line!”

"The difference is more than twenty horse lengths, maybe even more than thirty horse lengths!"

“Maybe there’s a gap between the seniors and the juniors, but this is ultimately a competition between horse girls, so this is an incredibly exciting performance!”

"So the final champion is... Oh! It's not surprising, they crossed the finish line almost at the same time. We need to watch the replay..."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara no longer had the heart to listen any further. He rushed straight to the edge of the audience seats, flipped over, jumped into the stadium, and rushed towards the track.

There is usually a transition lawn between the stadium's spectator seats and the runway, and further inside the spectator seats are the protective fences on both sides of the runway.

The place where Kitahara rushed towards was the protective fence of the runway.

While running, he didn't consider whether it was safe to do so, nor did he pay attention to whether someone called him or what happened.

All he could think of at this moment was regret.

This competition... is really too outrageous...

Actually... I shouldn't be so radical. If I just want them to see the world's top level, there are many ways to do it. In fact, I don't need to do this...

Maybe I can go to Europe again, or ask Seattle to help them...

There are obviously many ways, I...

Why choose the most extreme one...?
I should have known that, whether it was the Secretariat or the Harvest Time, as long as they were at their peak, they would be opponents that that generation could not defeat...

And this is a world of horse racing girls...

They are not like the historical facts in another world, where they can only run "that kind" of results...

As long as they are given enough preparation and enough stage...

The speed they can run at is an extreme speed that is absolutely unimaginable in another world...

So, why am I so eager and extreme to arrange such a game...

There are obviously many ways...

Such thoughts lingered uncontrollably in Beiyuan's mind.

He didn't know what expression he had on his face at the moment as he stood at the railing beside the runway. He only felt an indescribable blockage in his chest, as if he was lacking oxygen above his chest, and he had completely lost all intuition.

He probably had a dull expression on his face. He felt this vaguely.

But whether it was regret, a feeling of blockage or stagnation, he could still be sure of one thing.

My own horse racing ladies haven't finished the race yet.

As long as they haven't finished the race and are still running, then as a trainer, I have to watch.

No matter what happens, keep watching.

Cheer for them, believe in them, and do everything you can for them.

Support and encourage them to run on the stage of their dreams and run the race of their dreams.

Yes, that's right, so...

The inexplicable numbness in his upper body gradually disappeared after a while. He clenched his teeth hard, and his fists hanging at his sides clenched involuntarily. He turned his head and looked at the final bend that everyone had been paying attention to.

Twenty or thirty seconds ago, that place was indeed the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone in the entire stadium, as long as they had their eyes open and could see clearly, was staring at that place with anticipation and nervousness.

But at this moment, they no longer looked there.

Their eyes were either looking at the two figures beyond the finish line, or at the signboard across the track.

They don't seem to care what will happen at the last corner. What they want to know is probably just the result of the race.

As for the rest, they probably don't care.

"…It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what happens to other people…"

With his back to the entire audience, facing the opposite of everyone's gaze there, he stared at the final bend of the track a few hundred meters away, clenched his fists, and Kitahara's lips slightly opened.

"……I care."

……

After the finish line.

“We crossed the finish line at about the same time…”

He walked slowly for a distance, slowly stopped, slowly turned around, his eyes swept across the cheering audience seats, and then across the notice board that had not yet displayed the rankings. The secretariat smiled silently and looked to the side.

"At the same time...? No..."

Next to her was Junchuan Tezuna who had just walked by slowly.

Shaking his head, his eyes swept across the audience seats, the notice board, and the secretariat, and then he smiled.

"When you and I are at this stage, many things shouldn't need any commentary to be announced."

"You win."

"It's probably about ten centimeters. I can feel it, and you should feel it too."

The Secretariat was silent.

"If I give you more time, you can fully adapt to the American track, or if I compete in Japan, maybe a victory like this..."

"Winning is winning, losing is losing, there is nothing to say."

Before the secretary could finish, Junchuan Tezuna shook his head and reached out to smooth his long hair. "I wasn't prepared for every competition I participated in, but I still won." "I think you should be the same."

"I remember the American horse racing girls' personalities. They always say what they think. I didn't expect you to be so hesitant."

"It's not hesitation, it's just..."

Halfway through his sentence, the secretary's eyes suddenly widened and he pointed a finger at the top of Tetsuna Shunkawa's head.

"You...your ears..."

"And the tail..."

“Can it really be put away…?”

She pointed behind Tetsuna Tosugawa.

From the first time they met until the end of the game, Jungkawa Tezuna looked like a horse girl.

Long brown ears and a brown tail are unique features of Uma Musume.

But with the movement she just made to comb her hair, the ears and tail were gone.

At this moment, she looked exactly like a human female, and didn't look like a horse girl at all.

"Yeah, my situation, how should I put it..."

Pointing his finger at his chin, then raising it up, Junchuan Tezuna smiled, "It should be a kind of existence between humans and horse girls."

"I don't really understand it either, but Chief Kitahara speculated that it might be related to the three goddesses, and that Uma Musume's state would only appear when the emotions are reached."

"Normally... it's what you see now."

"But in this case, even though I'm fast, I can never compare to you, so I have to become a horse girl again."

"Now that you mention it, it seems that you don't have to say something like, maybe I should adapt a little bit, and you go to Japan, because I also have this unique situation, which is why I can keep up with you."

"Now that the competition is over, there's no need to maintain that state."

As she said this, she looked towards a corner of the audience.

"Unheard of situation..."

Although he had heard of Tsuna Tsuna's previous explanation, his first impression was that of Uma Musume, and now that he saw the changes with his own eyes, the Secretariat was still stunned for a moment.

Then, she suddenly became serious.

"I think I need to apologize to you seriously..."

"I admit that I really thought you were 'overestimating your own abilities' before. I sincerely apologize now and hope you can forgive me."

She held out her hand.

"...Actually, you don't have to mind it that much."

He smiled, stretched out his hand to shake the secretariat, and Tetsuna Sumikawa sighed, "It's probably because of the 'liar'."

"I mean, what you call 'overestimating one's own abilities'."

"……how do you know?"

The secretary was puzzled. "Indeed, I...can't find a good adjective. Maybe there is one in Japanese, but I can't think of one in American English."

"What I'm thinking is that if a horse girl like me tries to catch up with me, she might get hurt like Sham."

"When I first met you, I thought you were just like her, except that you wanted to challenge me."

"Sham... is actually an extremely outstanding horse racing girl, but... maybe she shouldn't have been born in the same generation as me."

"When I first saw you and heard about your situation, although it was unique and unbelievable, I still think the same way when it comes to the game."

In a calm tone, Secretariat spoke the conceited words, and then she sighed.

"If I tell her this in person, she will definitely fly into a rage... Alas, that's just her personality. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on keeping up with me during the Belmont Stakes and broke her leg..."

Thinking of the past, her expression darkened a little.

“…Not only did he break his bones, but he also insisted on finishing the race…”

Junchuan Tezuna suddenly added in a low voice: "And because of this, his injuries worsened and he had to retire..."

"How do you know...?"

The Secretariat was stunned for a moment when a familiar question was asked again, and then sighed again.

"Well, yes. If she gives up the competition and receives treatment, she will have a chance of recovery given the medical conditions here."

"But she insisted on running on, so..."

Holding up three fingers, she shook her head.

“Finally, the broken bone was repaired with three screws.”

“Those three screws…are still there.”

"No one would mention this matter in front of that guy. Of course, it should be said that no one dared to mention it, otherwise that guy would definitely be furious..."

"She is just like this. I remember there is a word in the East that can describe this kind of personality. It's called something like... Would rather break than bend?"

"That's about it."

After making some complicated comments about his former rival, the Secretariat became confused again.

"So, whether it's the injury or the specific injuries, these scammers... there should be very few people who know about it, right?"

"How did you know, Tazuna... Uh, no, if you're competing now... So what should I call you?"

Hayakawa Tazuna is the English name of Shogawa Tezuna, and in the competition, whether it is the public announcement or the commentary, the name used is Harvest Moment.

"Just call me Sugawa Tezuna. My previous name... isn't really necessary."

Shaking his head, Tetsuna Shunkawa slowly turned around and looked towards the finish line he had crossed earlier.

"I know about the fraudsters... Officially, I am the secretary to the chairman of the board of directors of Central Tresen Academy in Japan."

"It is my job to investigate all the famous horse girls in the world and know them well."

“So it can be said that it is necessary for official business.”

Seeing Junchuan Tezuna turning around, the Secretariat also stopped and turned around.

"Business?"

The secretary pondered, “So there are also private matters.”

"Well, I've told you and Ms. Penny about what happened back then."

Tetsuna Shunkawa nodded and said, "The accumulated injuries and fatigue led to an accidental injury during the Japanese derby. He contracted tetanus and almost died."

"Although in every sense, I should not be truly 'dead', but..."

“That feeling still scares me to this day.”

"Injuries are what I care about most, especially the injuries of the younger generation."

"I know how that feels."

"I have felt the speed of the wind, longed for the speed of the wind, but I can no longer run against the wind, then..."

"This is something that makes all the horse girls despair. I know how they feel."

"So, when I was collecting intelligence on the horse racing girls, I would pay special attention to their injuries, and I would know some things that were not so public."

"So that's it..."

As he spoke, the secretary's eyes moved.

Like Junchuan Tezuna, she was looking far away in the direction of the finish line.

She didn't know why the latter was looking there before, but now she understood.

At the finish line, three figures came from far to near, and rushed across the finish line one after another. Just like the two of them just now, they slowly began to cool down.

"Youngster... Speaking of which, you are so concerned about injuries. This time..."

Turning his head slightly, the secretary asked in confusion, "You don't seem to be that worried about those three juniors?"

"If I remember correctly... Ogururomo, Super Cove, and Mejiro Aldan, those are the three names, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Junchuan Tezuna nodded, then shook his head, "It's not that I'm not worried, but I really don't need to worry."

"That may be hard for you to understand, so..."

Quite abruptly, she changed the subject.

"Your trainer, Ms. Penny Chenery, and any other horse girl trainer you've ever met, they should all have some hobbies, right?"

"Outside of training and games, I mean."

The secretary was stunned. She didn't understand why Junchuan Tezuna asked this, but she still answered subconsciously: "Isn't this obvious?"

"Training and competition are both work for trainers. How can you keep doing work without taking a break?"

She suddenly laughed and shrugged somewhat exaggeratedly.

"You are the secretary of the chairman, and I happen to be the chairman. You should know that the chairman's work is very busy, right?"

The image of a little guy who had been noisy since they met appeared in his mind, and Tetsuna Shunkawa couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, from morning to night, even until late at night, there are things related to the association, the college, and family. I always feel that as the chairman, I will never be done with my work."

"Correct, absolutely correct."

Suddenly, he expressed his feelings, and the secretary shrugged exaggeratedly, "Although I am the chairman of this board, to be honest, I still hate those messy things in my heart."

"If Penny hadn't been able to help me, I would have given up long ago."

"If I really have a choice, I would like to be able to go running freely or something like that."

"Of course, there's nothing we can do about it. Taking over some of the work at Tresen College was also part of the contract that Penny and that team signed back then."

Talking about his past, the Secretariat couldn't help but frowned, then shook his head as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and went back to the topic.

“So, not many people would want to keep doing work.”

"That's just who I am."

"As for Penny... She actually told me that if her father hadn't passed away suddenly and she had to take over the team, she might have continued to be a housewife or become a pastry chef."

"Her current hobby is also making desserts after work."

"Ah, it just so happens that Penny's desserts are very good. If it's convenient, you are always welcome to come and taste them. Of course..."

She shrugged exaggeratedly again and smiled helplessly, "Wait until I'm done."

"Thank you for the invitation."

With a smile and a nod, Junchuan Tezuna's eyes passed over the three juniors who were getting closer and closer, and looked towards the fence next to the finish line.

“So, whether it’s people or horse girls, few people would accept working all the time.”

"Both you and Penny have hobbies outside of work, and after work, you also want to do what you like."

"Me too, actually. I like movies. After get off work or on my days off, I go to the movies."

"This hobby is still Kurokawa..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly shook her head.

"In short, even if you become a trainer because you like horse racing girls, there probably aren't many trainers who spend all day thinking about training, competitions, and horse racing girls."

"Even his uncle, Mr. Ginjiro Rokuhei, who brought him into this industry, would think about going to the bar for a drink, going to Hawaii for vacation, and buying a few colorful Hawaiian shirts after work."

"Uncle? Rokuhei Ginjiro...?"

After repeating the two words in astonishment, Secretariat suddenly realized something, "'He'...?"

"You mean..."

Subconsciously following the gaze of Tetsuna Sumikawa, the Secretariat looked towards the finish line.

There, a figure that seemed a little out of place in the current stadium environment was standing there.

At this moment, the entire game has ended and the result is given on the bulletin board.

The above result is a very rare "same move" in Uma Musume competition. I don't know whether it was determined by the referee team or after consultation, considering that this is just an informal competition and the purpose of communication, so this result was given.

In short, both the Secretariat and Junchuan Tezuna knew exactly what the outcome of this match would be.

And the moment the result came out, the entire stadium began to resound with the most enthusiastic joy since the start of the competition.

The joy and excitement were so obvious.

Just by listening to the names mentioned in the shouting and noise, and looking at the direction of the gazes, you can tell that all the attention of the entire stadium is on the two horse racing girls who "cross the finish line at the same time".

Maybe we can’t say “the entire stadium” either.

The figure standing at the finish line must not be paying attention to the two of us. The Secretariat thought so almost instinctively.

Although she couldn't see the figure's gaze clearly, she had an inexplicable feeling that the figure was not only not paying attention to them, but was even ignoring them.

It was as if their fierce competition, amazing performance, and themselves, all did not exist at all.

It seemed that the three horse girls over there were just watching them, who were only a dozen steps away from the two of them.

"That's... Chief Kitahara?"

The identity of the figure was quickly recognized, and the secretariat's gaze shifted to look at the three juniors not far away, then moved back.

"You mean, Chief Beiyuan..."

Feeling as if he understood a little bit, and at the same time feeling both amused and helpless about this little bit of understanding, the Secretariat twitched the corners of its mouth.

"Whether it's work or entertainment, his mind is always filled with training, competitions, and horse girls?"

As she spoke, there was already a hint of involuntary laughter in her tone, as if she was saying "How is that possible?", or as if she was asking "How could there be such a person?".

Junchuan Tezuna did not laugh. When she spoke, her voice was calm, but the volume seemed a little louder.

"Yeah, that's the kind of person he is."

"He... can be said to have no job, or rather, no entertainment."

“Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that his work is entertainment and entertainment is work.”

"I don't know what it was like for a trainer like him who came from a local background when he was in the local area, or even earlier."

"But now, he gives people the feeling that there seems to be only Uma Musume in his mind, nothing else."

"Training, competing, discovering talents, challenging limits and winning, these seem to be the only things on his mind."

“It’s not just that.”

“On the contrary, the real field-level horse girls are too powerful to organize good-looking competitions, so there are no such competitions in the major URA associations and various Shining Star competitions.”

"Before the officialization, the talent of horse girls was almost invisible, so there were no corresponding competitions."

“But running, being able to show yourself on stage, to make yourself proud and to make those who support you happy, this should be something that all horse girls look forward to the most.”

"You could even say... it's a dream."

"Right?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Secretariat did not answer immediately, but quietly looked away.

The three younger generations were still more than ten steps away.

They seemed to be looking over here, or looking at the finish line behind them, but because they all lowered their heads and their bangs covered their eyes, their line of sight and expressions could not be seen clearly.

As the chairman of the board of directors of the United States Federal Teresen College, even if he doesn't like his job very much, he still has extremely rich experience in the secretariat.

She immediately understood what Junchuan Tezuna meant.

She felt that Junchuan Tezuna's current question and previous words were not so much about telling her something as they were about talking to the three juniors not far away.

"Ah, yes, the dream of all horse girls, I think... that's exactly what it is." She nodded.

"So, what that young man over there thinks and does is always this kind of thing."

Nodding heavily, Junchuan Tezuna spoke in a deep voice.

"Solid training ability and winning one game after another, this is the most basic."

"It's a miracle that his own horse girl has never been injured during training and competitions, and healed the injuries accumulated before his debut. This is what he did."
